New Delhi, April 4

Minister for Information Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw on Monday said there was a need for a new and “dynamic” legal framework to effectively deal with unscrupulous elements in the cyberspace without infringing privacy and freedom of expression of individuals.

The minister, while addressing the inaugural session of the second national conference on cyber crime investigations and digital forensics organised by the CBI, said over the years, technology had given a lot of productivity, efficiency and convenience but simultaneously it had brought intrusions into people’s lives. “This problem can only be tackled by legal strategy, technology, organisations, capacity-building and mutual cooperation,” he said. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
